Its a pain in the ass, dudes always hitting on your GF and she can ditch you and just find someone else so fast.

Or the reverse too, gals always around your dude...


Is it worth it ?

I think it depends on the person. I've known a couple of attractive men that made me feel really secure being with them and I didn't have to worry much. I've also known a few attractive men who made me feel really insecure and I couldn't go on with them. It was how they behaved and made me feel that made the difference.

I was thinking that too as I was writing this, all this discussion on relationships got me kind of resenting very attractive people they get the world handed to them on a platter.

They don't know what lonely even is.

I am guilty of it too, you wait that extra second holding a door when they are really far enough back that you could keep going without being rude. Oh can I help you with that ? Your really attractive and would never like me that way, probably would never do **** for me if things were reversed but let me help anyway. I am GUILTY !!!

Looks are only part of the equation.

If you have a S/O who is not only attractive, but has charm and an engaging personality as well, people are naturally going to flock to them.

Women hit on my man all the time. It's the nature of the beast.

And yes... he's more than worth it.

An old male friend of mine brought this into focus for me a long time ago when that really hot married teacher molested her student and he told me that she was so attractive that she won't suffer any consequence for doing that whatsoever. He said very attractive people rarely suffer consequences like others do. He predicted it, and sure enough, the woman (Debra Lafave was her name) had another guy lined up to marry her (her husband did leave her) before the case had even gone to trial and new guy supported her financially so she didn't have to work (since she lost her job). She did no prison time either. So no, not much suffering there.

I don't know what it is with me but I consider charm a negative descriptor.

I know you did not mean it that way at all but for some reason I relate the adjective charming to words like manipulation and deceit.

Let me get the definition, I am curious what it means officially.

CHARMING | definition in the Cambridge English Dictionary https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/...glish/charming charming meaning:
1. pleasant and attractive:
2. used to describe people who use their attractiveness to influence people or to make other people like them

Number 2 in the definition, I don't like that at all.

Why would I be involved with someone I'm not interested in? You do know attraction goes beyond appearance, right?

Nope. A very attractive girl is high maintenance most likely and nothing would turn me off quicker.

Ahhh... so this original post has an agenda behind it. Gotcha.

He's a genuinely affectionate, humorous and well-liked person who's fun to be around... but if you want to turn that into sometime negative, more power to you.
